a b c "Irish Distillers, a subsidiary of Pernod Ricard, has confirmed the sale of Paddy Irish Whiskey to US-based spirits producer Sazerac". The Drinks Business. 18 May 2016 . Retrieved 17 August 2018. Welcome to our Irish whiskey introduction to two powerhouse brands: Jameson and Paddy Irish whiskeys. The Cork Distilleries Company was founded in 1867 to merge four existing distilleries in Cork city (the North Mall, the Green, Watercourse Road, and Daly's) under the control of one group. [2] A fifth distillery, the Midleton distillery, joined the group soon after in 1868. [3] Writers’ Tears is a blend of single pot still and single malt whiskeys. It is one of the newer whiskies on our list, and it pays tribute to Ireland’s long history of brilliant and miserable writers – hence the name. Midleton is a premium brand and one of the most expensive Irish whiskies whose taste lives up to its distinguished name.

Paddy is another example of a whiskey that is well-known in Ireland, but uncommon just about anywhere else. Just as with Powers, whenever I enter an Irish pub and see a bottle of Paddy Old Irish Whiskey on the shelf, I know I’m in a place that takes its Irishness more seriously than as just a matter of decor and having a Guinness tap.

Yeah, I guess I just wonder what the “competition dynamic” is like INSIDE Midleton. If Paddy starts losing business to Powers (or whatever), are they just as happy either way? Maybe there’s one dude responsible for each brand and they’re competitive on a personally level??? Pot still whiskey is a style of whiskey native to Ireland produced from a combination of malted and unmalted barley grain, with each type of grain consisting of at least 30 percent of the total mash bill.

Paddy Irish Whiskey is an instantly recognizable Irish whiskey as it contains a map of Ireland on its label. It is a triple-distilled blended whiskey, which has been distilled in Cork ever since 1779. At the time of the sale, Paddy was the fourth largest-selling Irish whiskey brand in the world, with sales of 200,000 9-litre cases per annum, across 28 countries worldwide. [9]Everyone knows that maturity and ageing play a significant role in the taste of whiskey so it should come as no surprise that the Redbreast 12-year-old is an extremely popular Irish whiskey. I wrote Sazerac, sending a pic of the old and new bottles, and asked what the difference was in the contents, if any, and if it was exactly the same whiskey. They replied: In 1988, following an unsolicited takeover offer by Grand Metropolitan, Irish Distillers approached Pernod Ricard and subsequently became a subsidiary of the French drinks conglomerate, following a friendly takeover bid. [8] Irish Distillers produces Paddy for the Sazerac Company. The Jameson name is produced and distributed by Irish Distillers, a subsidiary of Pernod-Ricard. Redbreast finds itself high on our list of the top five most expensive Irish whiskies. 4. Midleton – a fancy drink Credit: commons.wikimedia.org
